Helly Hansen Senja Insulated Winter Parka

Many rugged winter jackets look like unflattering sleeping bags, but not Helly Hansen’s Senja Insulated Winter Parka. The adjustable waist cinches to keep your shape defined (and together with the adjustable hood provides a custom fit).

Plenty of pockets, including those with a comfortable brushed lining, will keep your things safe and your hands warm. 100% recycled synthetic down-feel insulation is better than down for travel because it packs down compactly. The parka is wind and water resistant to cope with any kind of weather.

Available in five eye-catching colors (including a gorgeous green), this jacket will keep you stylish all winter long.

Lilysilk Classic dress with woven cashmere neck

Cashmere is one of the thinnest, warmest and softest fabrics out there, and Lilysilk’s Classic Turtleneck Dress is made from the finest cashmere – a premium, ultra-cozy Mongolian fiber.

The dress is wrinkle-resistant and easy to pack, plus the timeless design makes it easy to wear anywhere. Bonus: Machine washable on delicate cycle.

FrancoSarto Haleen over the knee boots

If you’re always cold in the winter, you’ll want as much coverage as possible in the boots section. Fortunately, over-the-knee boots are very much in fashion at the moment, allowing you to add extra warmth to more than half of your leg.

Franco Sarto’s Haleen leather over-the-knee boots will keep you warm and dry (but still looking stylish) even on cold days. The side zipper makes it easy to get these tall boots on and off, and a stacked block heel will keep you stable even on icy pavements.

Royal Robbins Backcountry Pro Winter Leggings

Royal Robbins’ Backcountry Pro Winter Leggings look like sleek black tights, but hide a warm secret – a fleece-lined interior. The versatile look of leggings means you can wear them comfortably as they are on a hike or layer them under a dress for a more formal look.

Two hand pockets plus a secure zip pocket mean these leggings have three more pockets than most women’s leggings.

Smartwool thermal merino gloves

Merino wool is breathable, warm and odor resistant — and it’s the perfect, stylish material for winter gloves. Smartwool’s Thermal Merino Gloves are made from ultra-soft merino wool and are equipped with touchscreen-compatible fingers, so you won’t even have to take them off to use your phone.

These gloves weigh just 1.41 ounces, making them easily portable and great for travel.
